I was a little apprehensive, going to a new dentist because our insurance changed. However, the girl at the front desk was very friendly and answered all my questions. Dr. Jeff and his assistant were very welcoming and treated my five year-old excellent she had no fear and is looking forward to going back for her next check up. The office was quiet and clean!

The Dental Hygenist told me to try Biotine Mouthwash for my dry mouth due to Sogrens last time I was there, which I did in addition to the little Xylimelts despite having no faith in itnat all. My teeth are looking amazing after a couple days and my mouth isnt unbearably dry anymore! I have had so much plaque thats always been blamed on smoking and coffee by every dentisr I have been to. None of my prior Dentists (qnd ive seen many) ever did the simple math Thrush+Dry mouth+Plus Plaque= Sogrens and Scleroderma. I had really just given up on my teeth, havent beem flossing, barely brushing, etc. Couple days of Biotine and Xylomelts in combination with baking soda as I ran out of the nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste I like and my teeth look better than they have in the pasrv years! Thank you, whoever my dental hygenist last visit!

Can we normalize NOT having to wait over 20 minutes when you’re the first appointment of the day? If I was 20 minutes late you best believe they would cancel my appointment, charge me for that appointment, and make me come back another day. Oh and the dentist wasn’t even here…. Make it make sense! The hygienist was nice, quick once I got back there, but the girl behind the desk had an attitude and a half and felt the need to blame everyone and everything else…. The two stars is only for the hygienist only. Can we normalize NOT having to wait over 20 minutes when you’re the first appointment of the day?

I have had multiple unsettling experiences. Exsenive wait time. Bring a magazine. If your appointmentis after 12pm you will wait 45 minutes or more. They tresspassed me. The male assistant was having a bad day at 9 am. He was verbally rude when I told him he ripped the bracelet like heart monitor off my arm from behind me. Know one in office asked me what happened. Our insurance/ co pay. Pays your bills at least find help that wants to work with public with utmost customer service. I think there was some mis communication. This man Scared me. I will never recommend this place ever.
